Push the library out until it hits the latch stop.

Removing the Transport Assembly
Use the following steps to remove the transport assembly:
Using the finger-holes in the top of the transport assembly, lift the assembly
up and out of the library (see Figure 3 "Removing

the bottom of the transport assembly when lifting.
Figure 3. Removing the Transport Assembly
Place the transport assembly on top of the library, and disconnect the umbilical
cable by pulling the tabs outward (see Figure 3 "Removing
the Transport Assembly").
Replacing the Transport Assembly
Connect the umbilical cable (see Figure 3 "Removing
the Transport Assembly"). Ensure that it clicks into place.
Lower the transport assembly into the library, ensuring that the umbilical
cable folds properly as you lower the assembly.
Replacing the Cover
Replace the top cover by inserting all screws and tighten.
If the library is rackmounted, replace the screws behind the front doors
that secure the library in place.
